    I love my Megatron in the 2000 size and is my latest finesse reel of choice, but that sealed drag system on the Eagle sounds really intriguing! Both reels seem like a solid option and is just a matter of spec preference and aesthetics.

    I had picked the Eagle but after hearing about the frame made out of metal and the drag system I have to say I have to pick the Megatron!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU KastKing

    I was just torn between these two last week and decided to get the megatron to pair up with the finesse tube sdp rod pacing the floor for them to get here

    I like the Megatron 3000 because it uses aerospace grade aluminum frame and pro grade zinc drive components. The simplicity of the drive components is generally a better option for longevity.

    I would like to win the Megatron. Really like the megatron for it’s sturdy components and 30 lb drag power. As a multi species angler and frequent river fisherman it is great to know that you have the power to handle whatever you may hook into. You can fish any technique for any species, and that versatility is what makes KastKing great. Awesome products, keep up the great work!

    I have the Megatron reel and it's been awsome to me and I use it for any type of fishing and I pared it up to the Shakespeare ultra light rod and man is it an awesome combo

    I would like to win the Megatron I was very impressed by the aluminum frame , before the video I was set on the emerald eagle but hearing of the aluminum frame 7+1 bb and the 30 lb of drag is what I seek since I am after monster cats. I have purchased two Pontus and also a Centron but would love to add the Megatron in the 5000 series to my arsenal.proud to be a member of kastking family .

  • @jenijean81

    I think I'd have to go with the Megatron, but man that Emerald eagle would look amazing on the Resolute rod. Tough decision.

  • @ryanfuller2974
    @ryanfuller2974 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was a tough choice now hearing everything but i am going to hold with the megatron. I like the idea of the closed drag system and faster gear ratio. I wish it had the aluminum frame but it seems lime a fantastic reel all the way around.

  • @yakzona2621
    @yakzona2621 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I want to win the Emerald Eagle and prefer it for sealed drag, less maintenance. Also as a bonus it is gorgeous. No whammy's.

  • @dustinharrell5890
    @dustinharrell5890 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I own both the emarald eagle, and the Megatron. Both reels are awesome. I use my eagle for light tackle setups, and my Megatron for catfishing. So my opinion I like the emarald eagle better. I would love to win a 2000 series emarald eagle because I do a lot of fishing in swift running Creek water and the 6:2:1 line pick up speed is a must to get those fish turn around, also I like the fact the the eagles EPS and SSR system is very durable. Also its my favorite color

  • @DYTangler

  • @jeffjackson5331

  • @nozlnut36
    @nozlnut36 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would like to win the Emerald Eagle because of the graphite frame, the brass gears, the sealed drag system, the patented spool and of course the 10+1 bearing system! Plus I own an Emerald Eagle and I know how light and amazing they already are!

  • @outdoormindz3621
    @outdoormindz3621 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @roddyrich2335
      @roddyrich2335 4 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @thenkes22
    @thenkes22 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would really like to win the Megatron because of the beefier frame. I do walk a lot of river shoreline so the sturdy frame would be helpful for how many trips I take walking on rocks. I really like both a lot and I like the drag seal on the eagle but, I also really like the drag on the Tron because I hook into tons of different types of fish from smallmouth, crappie, carp, catfish, and northern. So I will have to swing toward the Tron!

  • @jack-vn7sd
    @jack-vn7sd 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'll take the Megatron as it comes in a 6000 series like my Sharky2. I use the sharky saltwater and it does the trick. been using it for about 4yrs now that way, and it holds up just fine. also think that aluminum reel seat will hold out nicely while catching a few monsters.

  • @seanmacdonald5518
    @seanmacdonald5518 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @wjwalkman
    @wjwalkman 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would choose the Megatron. It seems like a better option for a noob like me. With it having the 30lbs drag I can use it on a wide variety of fishing.

  • @musiqsoulstar06
    @musiqsoulstar06 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @sparkyishii4583

    I would want to win the emerald eagle. I have the Megatron already. For saltwater i was not impressed with the Megatron. After using it 3 times the reel was not reeling correctly. I had to take it apart and grease the gears.
    So it would be nice to have the emerald eagle. Hopefully the emerald eagle would stand up to strictly saltwater use.
    I have the sharky 3 combo so far i am impressed that it's standing up to all the fishing i do. Although the sharky is starting to get not as smooth as new. But i did dunk the sharky in saltwater twice on purpose.

  • @miltonthompson7051
    @miltonthompson7051 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have both and the comparison is great I fish mostly saltwater I have caught fish on both and both are excellent reels. Mines are the 4000 color wise I give it to the emarald eagle the Megatron is just plain black color. Drag power hands down go to the Megatron 30lb but the emarald has sealed drag system man this is the game changer. Even though I love the Megatron but the emarald eagle is going to come out on top because of the sealed drag system. Emarald eagle will be the top one. Make the eagle in a 5000 and I would buy it. If just had to have just one IT WOULD BE THE (EMARALD EAGLE).

  • @tylerpotter5541
    @tylerpotter5541 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Honestly, I would go with the megatron, with that tough frame It'll be strong for the tough creek fishing that me and my dad does, and it being light is awesome for carrying along the water side.and the drag on it is hard to say no to. So I'd pick the megatron, but the emerald eagle is still a good reel though.

  • @user-sg9ox9zb1r
    @user-sg9ox9zb1r 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The comparison is quite negligible and really comes down to personal preference and specific setup. If I’m forced to choose one, I would have to pick the 3000 Emerald Eagle simply for the gear ratio and proven durability. It’s purpose would primarily serve as a dropshot rig and I feel it has the slight advantage over the Megatron. Having said that, I probably would find the need to have both. The EE 3000 for bass fishing and Megatron for smaller pan fish. Blessings.
